QUESTION 301


The foundation of X movement finds historical precedent as far back as the counterculture of the Ancient Greece , espoused by philosophers like Diogenes of Sinope and the Cynics also as early forms of X culture. X philosophy also credits the religious and spiritual teachings of Jesus, Hillel the Elder, Buddha and Gandhi
The first signs of what we would call modern X emerged in Europe. Between 1896 and 1908, a German youth movement arose as a countercultural reaction to the organized social and cultural clubs that centered around German folk music. Known as Der Wabdervogel, the movement opposed the formality of traditional German clubs, instead emphasizing amateur music and singing, creative dress, and communal outings involving hiking and camping. Inspired by the works of Friedrich Nietzsche, Goethe, Herman Hasse, and Eduard Baltzer, Wandervogel attracted thousands of young Germans who rejected the rapid trend toward urbanization and yearned for the pagan, back-to-nature spiritual life of their ancestors
